Ever felt anxiety or fear toward a upcoming event? Well this is for you.

Ok so I just wish to post this because I realized another awesome thing today :)

So let's say you want to talk to a someone but you are really shy toward this person or that you have an event coming and you really don't know how you are gonna be able to prevent all the stress. Well first of all, this is probably not new for most of you, fear happen because of something that we don't know or something that MIGHT happen. You have fear because you feel you are NOT in control of the situation and that you might do something totally stupid because you won't be prepared toward what may happen.

Now this is what you should do, visualize the situation but not just visualize it the way you wish it would happen, note this could be a bonus but do not stop to that. Visualize yourself in the exact situation feel that you are there NOW and feel the stress FEEL THE FEAR that's right you have to FEEL your fear to fight it. Now once you are deep within your mind and start truly feeling anxiety like if you would really be there, try to think of what you should be doing, try many different options. Do it to a point where you start loosing fear of it because you are well aware of all the many ways the situation could turn out. What is it that you fear? That the person you love tells you no? That your friends make fun of you? That you get fired because you stand up against your boss?

Visualize the situation until you feel you already went over it and that the situation could come up at anytime and you would be ready to go toward it because you no longer fear since you know EVERYTHING that can happen, you are now more familiar with this situation that you haven't even faced yet then you are with situations that truly happened. Once you can go back to visualize the situation and feel you are truly doing and it, that you are experimenting it and that you are in control well now you successfully overcame your fear and this works for anything, fear not because fear is only something that happen when you aren't in control of the situation, BE IN CONTROL AND YOU WILL SUCCEED WITH ANYTHING.
